Quick Start Guide
961 INTERFACE
Legendary Analog Multi-channel
Trigger Converter Module for Eurorack
Controls
(1) AUDIO IN – Use this 3.5 mm jack to route an audio
signal into the module for conversion to a V-Trig
(voltage trigger) signal. The audio signal passes through
the SENSITIVITY control before being converted, and the
nal, converted signal then exits the module at the V-TRIG
OUT parallel connections immediately to the right of the
SENSITIVITY knob.
(2) SENSITIVITY – Use this knob to adjust the gain of the
audio signal coming into the module through the AUDIO
IN jack. Rotate the knob until you nd a setting that gives
you the best audio-to-voltage conversion.
(3) V-TRIG OUT – Use the parallel jacks to route the converted
audio-to-voltage V-Trig signal back out of the module via
cables with 3.5 mm TS connectors.
(4) S-TRIG IN – Route S-Trig (switch trigger) control signals
into the module via cables with 3.5 mm TS connectors
for conversion to V-Trig (voltage trigger) signals.
The converted V-Trig signal comes back out of the
module via the parallel V-TRIG OUT jacks immediately
to the right of the S-TRIG IN jack.
(5) V-TRIG OUT – Use these parallel jacks to send the
converted V-Trig signal back out of the module via cables
with 3.5 mm TS connectors.
(6) V-TRIG IN A/B – Use these rows of 3.5 mm jacks to route
in multiple V-Trig (voltage trigger) signals for conversion
to an S-Trig (switch trigger) signal that exits the module
via the S-TRIG OUT jack assigned to this section of the
module. The V-TRIG IN A row of inputs go straight to
conversion and output, while the V-TRIG IN B row of
inputs pass through the SWITCH-ON TIME control before
being combined with the converted A signal for nal
output through the S-TRIG OUT jack. When any valid
V-TRIG input activates the S-TRIG output, any other V-TRIG
input activity will be ignored until the rst V-TRIG cycle
has ended.
(7) SWITCH-ON TIME – Use this knob to manually limit or
extend the “ON” time duration of V-Trig signals coming in
through the V-TRIG IN B row of input jacks. The “ON” time
can be varied from 40 milliseconds to a full 4 seconds.
(8) S-TRIG OUT – This jack routes the nal S-Trig signal from
the V-TRIG IN A/B jacks back out of the module via cables
with 3.5 mm TS connectors.
Power Connection
The 961 INTERFACE module comes with the required power cable
for connecting to a standard Eurorack power supply system.
Follow these steps to connect power to the module. It is easier to
make these connections before the module has been mounted
into a rack case.
1. Turn the power supply or rack case power o and
disconnect the power cable.
2. Insert the 16-pin connector on the power cable into the
socket on the power supply or rack case. The connector has
a tab that will align with the gap in the socket, so it cannot
be inserted incorrectly. If the power supply does not have
a keyed socket, be sure to orient pin 1 (-12 V) with the red
stripe on the cable.
3. Insert the 10-pin connector into the socket on the back of
the module. The connector has a tab that will align with the
socket for correct orientation.
4. After both ends of the power cable have been securely
attached, you may mount the module in a case and turn on
the power supply.

Installation
The necessary screws are included with the module for mounting
in a Eurorack case. Connect the power cable before mounting.
Depending on the rack case, there may be a series of xed holes
spaced 2 HP apart along the length of the case, or a track that
allows individual threaded plates to slide along the length
of the case. The free-moving threaded plates allow precise
positioning of the module, but each plate should be positioned in
the approximate relation to the mounting holes in your module
before attaching the screws.
Hold the module against the Eurorack rails so that each of the
mounting holes are aligned with a threaded rail or threaded
plate. Attach the screws part way to start, which will allow small
adjustments to the positioning while you get them all aligned.
After the nal position has been established, tighten the
screws down.
